What People Are Saying
“At the lowest point in my life so far, with little self-esteem and an overriding sense of hopelessness, Hayley has helped me find the strength to keep going. She has supported me in expressing my thoughts, explored my feelings and encouraged me to understand my own behaviour. I've visited my past experiences and identified connections to my life choices, personality and relationships. Most importantly she has allowed me to be me, giving me a safe space to express myself, listening without judgement. She has taught me that my feelings are ok to feel, they are valid and completely normal. With Hayley I feel heard, which is something I've needed to feel for a long time”
— Jaqueline, 33.
“Our sessions with Hayley have been entirely over video platform Zoom due to Covid19 restrictions. Initially I had thought this might be odd. However, from the outset there have been no technical hitches – and we have both found it easy to establish a therapeutic relationship with Hayley. In many ways it has offered a more practical and accessible counselling service which has not been interrupted by changes in social distancing guidance..”
— P & P, Couple.
“This is my first time going to therapy and has been a very positive experience. This is due to Hayley creating a safe, warm, and open environment for myself to be open and together have explored my behaviours. Giving me the tools to become self-aware and self-critical, and to understand why I behave in certain ways through a holistic approach, examining all aspects of my past and present .”
